@chris surely there's at least a match bonus?

I'd say there's a fair bit of difference between the amount you earn starting, vs the amount you earn making the odd appearance, off the bench. You can't always put it down to impatience.

Careful, that's South EB. You're almost back to the bus garages there, that's pretty much Pencarrow.

oooh i like Middle Eastbourne.

It is a troubled area. Diplomacy just doesn't seem to work. Sad really, some of the inhabitants have become refugees in the U.K.

It really is dire. The struggle is real when you decide to rebuild an unused wharf as you can't find anything else to spend the community money on.

@Bones @Derm-McCrum

Ouch to both of you. There's always a better smart ass isn't there. Didn't think one would be from Ireland and the other from the Middle East (bourne).

Oh, and GFY's

Best ever! @MN5 is gonna be gutted he didn't think of that one.

@derm-mccrum My opinions are indeed set in stone. Very unlikely to change things like - Umaga is a shit coach, O'Gara can't tackle and you never really leave the fern.

Jeez - I’m in complete agreement with everything you said.

That’s a first on here in seven years.
The rest of them keep going on about New Zealand all the time.

Who do you support? Australia I presume....

Auckland/Australia. Same same.

Auckland is just proof Australians can swim.

I see Jordan is getting a lot of support - he's always struck me as a bit flaky previously (like McNicholl) and I'm surprised to see him being promoted ahead of Ennor. But I've watched fuck all NPC.

You won't have seen much of him, then.

Paul Cully is on the Jordan bandwagon.

I'd be a bit surprised if he makes the Japan squad, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

So is there any highlight videos of him recently? I had a look at the highlights vs Counties - classy stuff.

It occurred to me that maybe I was mixing him up with Trainor.

@mariner4life funnily enough I just watched the first 2 episodes last night. Seems very similar but hasn't quite gripped me, bit of a slow burner so far it seems.

Top bloke IMO - ex Army pilot (served in 'Stan) and really pushed for the Invictus Games. I feel sorry for William who wanted to serve too, but wasn't allowed (same as Charles vs Andrew and the Falklands), but at least he got sorta operations in SAR.

He’s a character in the axis of time books by John Birmingham . Only it turns out the story they told the media is bullshit and he’s actually SAS . It’s a pretty entertaining read.

Harry isn't real?

@tim cool article - if he's anything close to as smart and driven as his old man, he'll go a very long way.
